Chilis for everyone

We were gifted some dried chiletepins years ago and hubby loved them. I grew them the next year and began supplying extended CA family. Seeds from seeds and such are more reliable than trying to grow seeds from the harvest. Good company to do business with on a yearly basis

Slow germination but sprouts in 2 weeks

These were some of the slowest to germinat but in about 2 to 2 -1/2 weeks they do sprout 4 out of 5 sprouted there in the garden know and starting to produce only one seems to be sick the others are blooming.

Had some success

The ones I tried to start in soil failed also.
I put seeds in a moist paper towel and a plastic bag and forgot about them. In about a week they almost all sprouted.
Hope this helps someone.
